Today’s Brief Distraction is from Rufskin! This is one of their great pictures that features the Cadaques swimwear in Tagete. It is also available in 8 other colors.
Jockstrap Central just launched two new Pistol Pete jocks and they’ve got a hot new model to show them off. Here’s the details:
Millennium Jock Brief:
Typical of a jock brief, it’s got a brief style front and jock style back; made of a subtly see-through mesh that becomes more see-through with your bulge pushing up against the fabric, stretching those ventilation holes just large enough for a hint of what’s lies beneath. Trust us, those close by will insist on closer inspection.
Black contrasting elasticated piping improves the fit and adds a dash of style. Finally, this jock brief includes a 1.5 inch wide black ultra-soft waistband with subtle embossed repeating Pistol Pete logo.
Intimo Jockstrap:
Visually stunning, whether it’s the soft ribbed pouch with ribs running vertically defining every curve nook and cranny of your bulge or the two “eyes” formed where the top central part of the pouch meets the waistband exposing your pubes. Comfort is enhanced by the stretch of the rib and contour of the pouch design. Style is heightened by the contrasting elasticated fabric edging.
Of course it wouldn’t be a jockstrap without the leg straps – they’re soft one inch wide elastic to keep everything in place. Lastly, a one and a quarter inch soft elastic comfort waistband in white with navy blue and green centered stripe and front centered Pistol Pete logo woven into the design.”
Jockstrap Central’s latest model Farzad is pretty hot. He’s a Middle Eastern construction worker and puts the new Pistol Pete gear through a workout. See him all jocked out in high definition goodness exclusively at Jockstrap Central.”

Today’s Brief Distraction is from Go Softwear. It feature their new swimwear. This is part of their new collection. They say “The following ingredient needed: Just add water and plenty of sun and fun!” and we couldn’t agree more.
Today we are taking a look at the MBG04 Hound Boxer from Male Basics. It features a traditional exposed logo elastic waistband with red contrast piping and stitching. The fabric features allover hound’s-tooth screen-print. My initial reaction is that they looked small and tight, but they had an iconic menswear pattern which made them fun. I was concerned slightly by the size because I hadn’t tried on Male Basics before. This particular trunk is part of the Geometric Collection which features a few other fun prints.
I slipped these bad boys on for a stressful day at the office. They held up nicely during my train commute, staying in place and not riding up or rolling up. They did not stretch out either! I would recommend these Male Basic trunks for everyday wear and lounging. The fabric had some stretch but not enough or breathability for a workout.
Despite their smaller appearance, the 7% spandex really let this pair stretch to fit my athletic frame. I tried on a Large whose label indicates waists 36”-38”, I would say that the sizing would be better on the lower end of this scale. If you have a more able rear end I would size up, because of the lower rise.
This pair features a lot of things that I really like; the pouch features a nice profile which fits well. The center rear seam is flat and doesn’t itch like some do. Also the craftsman ship was very nice; the waistband was sewn on perfectly. I do wish the legs were a little shorter, as to fit me better, but I have a very athletic build. When the fabric stretches though you do get a distorted pattern though.
I do have to say though; the print on this pair of Male Basics is fun and bold and is a welcome addition to my drawer of jocks and briefs. I think that for the average guy these would make great work week underwear, made even better if you wear them with a hound’s-tooth suit or tie.

I LOVE Cocksox, so when I heard it they were celebrating 7 years, I knew we had to do something special. The group behind Cocksox are some of the most amazing people. They have created some of the best undies, in my opinion, and now they are celebrating 7 Sinful Years!
“Seven sinful years! We’re not talking about a marriage, we’re talking about Cocksox®, the infamous underwear and swimwear brand from Australia.
“We started out with one red underwear brief listed on eBay, almost as a dare,” laughs Nadiah Christensen, Cocksox® Creative Director, “And now look, seven years later and Cocksox® are all over the world!”
The question arose, how to celebrate seven years of Cocksox®?
“Thinking back to our first product, the red underwear brief, which we called Diablo Red, or ‘devil red’ it was obvious… seven years, seven deadly sins! Perfect!” says Nadiah.
Subtle is not a word that’s used around the Cocksox® HQ very often, as the Seven Deadly Sins campaign shows.
“I wanted people to have a shocked grin on their face when they first see our Seven Deadly Sins images. I think we succeeded,” laughs Nadiah.
Seven Deadly Sins has a very different look from previous Cocksox® campaigns. Stark white backgrounds and eye popping visuals tell the tale of each of the sins. Sydney based photographer Elvis Di Fazio came on board to shoot models Rogan Richards and Steve Williams to create the fantastic, stylised sins for Cocksox®.
“Lust is my favourite image in our campaign, and not just because those are my lipstick kisses on Rogan!” laughs Nadiah.
“There’s Greed, Lust, Anger, Pride, Envy, Gluttony, Sloth. Something for everyone,” jokes Nigel Christensen, Cocksox® Marketing Director. “I can’t decide whether gluttony or sloth is my favourite. Ideally I’d combine the two.”
“We really want our customers to share the fun with us and choose their favourite sin, tell us on Facebook or Twitter, tell their friends. Email us, we love hearing from our customers,” says Nadiah.
To add to the celebrations, Cocksox® are releasing a strictly limited edition Gold Cocksox® brief, as featured in the ‘Greed’ image, and a new colour in the Wet Look range, Regent Red.
“You can’t show greed without gold so we had a custom gold Cocksox® brief made,“ explains Nadiah. “It looked so incredible on our model that we had to make them available for sale, even if there’s only strictly limited number of them. We’re calling them the Cocksox® Bling, of course!”
You’ll be seeing the Cocksox® Seven Deadly Sins campaign all over the web and in your favourite underwear stores. Keep an eye out for posters and post cards in your part of the world. And be sure to tell Cocksox® which is your favourite sin.”

I am back with another Boxer Brief from Unico. Notice a theme here! I have one more pair to review as well. I was hoping for some briefs too but this is an all boxer brief Unico review! I posted the last review and it was a glowing review. I am still surprised that I loved it as much as I did. This pair is a shorter boxer brief and a cotton/spandex blend. I have reviewed a few of these over the years and again like the last review, hope they hold up !
The pair I am reviewing is the Simplicidad Boxer. Which is a blue and yellow striped boxer. Its made out of a Cotton/Spandex blend. So when I put them on they didn’t feel as great as the (name). Which is not necessarily a bad thing. I was keeping an open mind. The color and the way they make the stripes form a v in the front is one of my favorite things. Unico always pays attention to these details.
I wore this pair to work and errands after work. It’s was going to be a little more intense then my previous reviews. The daily grind at the office wasn’t bad. I had no issues with the pair. It felt really good and the pouch gave me ample support. The true test was with the errands I ran. I had to go to a warehouse club, shop for shots and go to the grocery store. It may not sound too bad, not like running 5 miles or doing a 2-hour work out. A good pair of underwear will live up to daily wear with out issues. This pair held up well. While I didn’t like the cotton blend as much as the previous nylon blends, it held its shape quiet well.
The sizing is the exact same as the previous pair. Unico is a Colombian brand and they are always smaller then US sizes. This means you should always buy a pair up from your normal size. Unico will not stretch to fit you, if you get a size smaller. They are quite uncomfortable if you do. I made this mistake once and I will not make it again.
What I liked about the pair… I loved the stripes and the way they always create the V in the front to show off the pouch. It accents what you have and makes it look great. That is if that’s important to you. Next, is the great Unico pouch. They have never let me down on this one. They have designed and made a pouch that is designed for a guy. The waistband is another area I love. The Unico branded waistband with the U in front is a great touch. The things I didn’t like were the fabric, which is only a minor dislike. Had I not reviewed the other pair this would not be much of an issue. But I love more stretchy fabric such as nylon/spandex.
Pros:
- Fun stripes
- Great Unico pouch and stripe construction
- Designer waistband
Cons:
- Fabric is my only minor complaint

- Daily Fit – 9

We got word today from Jockstrap Central that the classic jock, the one who started it all was being discontinued. This as we stated is the end of an era. This was the very first jockstrap I ever owned. It’s sad to see them going away. It’s one of those things you thought would be around for forever. Here is what we received from Jockstrap Central, it has bad and good news.
We knew it was going to happen eventually, but we’ve just heard officially that Bike #10 jockstraps are being discontinued world wide. As most of you know, Bike had discontinued them years ago for the North American market but we were still able to import them from Europe. Unfortunately, that’s coming to an end. We still have some stock and will try to buy up what’s left at the distributor, but you may want to snatch them up quickly before they’re gone for good.
However, it’s not all bad news, we’ve just heard that Bike is going to be making their modern jocks in colors. We haven’t seen them yet, but we’re excited about this news. Also good news is after being out of stock on the modern Bike jockstraps for a while, Bike was finally able to fill our order and we’re now pretty well stocked on modern Bike jockstraps.
Finally, if you missed last week’s newsletter, we have an amazing offer going on: We have a dozen styles of Baskit jockstraps and jock-briefs on clearance. All 12 styles are only $11.95 each. This a great deal for some pretty awesome high-quality, stylish fashion jocks.

The pair of underwear I am reviewing is the Seven7 Long Boxer Brief in gray with skulls as a pattern. The charcoal gray fabric is a nice color with black skulls as the pattern. The trunk has a contrasting silver waistband with Seven7 written in cursive centered above the pouch. The waistband has a metallic sheen to it and the pouch is slight, but stretchy.
After trying them on, the waistband is comfortable at nearly two inches in width. The slight pouch was conforming and defining with a nice wide stitch running the length of the pouch from the waistband to the crotch. While this is a boxer brief, it is called a long boxer brief with the length of the legs being quite a bit more towards the knee than regular boxer briefs. There is no fly in this boxer brief which makes it more like a trunk for me. The boxer brief was pieced together in multiple pieces to create the pouch and rear to provide a better fit and make it more conforming. The seat is one panel, but it seems to be contoured to fit close to the skin. The pouch seems to really just function as an area to put the goods with no real lift or major support. Like most boxer briefs I have tried, I feel like I have to pull the boxer brief up really far on my stomach to make the crotch of the underwear hit the crotch of the body. This boxer brief comes in several colors and patterns that most anyone would enjoy. This is my first pair of Seven7 underwear and I enjoyed them, but would say they would be a nice replacement for guys who wear the boxer briefs that are available in multipacks at department stores.
While wearing this pair of boxer briefs, I went about my normal Sunday morning, a late lunch, and shopping over a couple of hours period of time with lots of sitting, walking, etc. After the morning was over, I arrived home and completed various tasks around the house both inside and out. It was a typical day for most guys, I suppose. The pair fit well, looked nice, did not bunch up, and did not ride up. This pair of underwear would be good for wearing under shorts or loose fitting pants as I wore them under tighter clothing and I definitely knew I had them on due to the fabric thickness and composition. I would not consider wearing it as workout wear.
I received a size large in this boxer brief. This size should cover a 34-36 pant size. Sizing was true to size as I am a large in the vast majority of underwear. This pair can be found for 9.50-15.50$ on most websites and in stores.
I enjoyed the color combination, the metallic silver waistband, the skull pattern was fun, and the way the pouch fit. 93% Cotton and 7% Elastane fabric combination makes this a stretchy and conforming pair of underwear that I enjoyed. This boxer had nothing major about it that I could complain about. I did find that the waistband is going to ride high if you pull the underwear up so that the crotch will hit your crotch area.
Overall, this was a good pair of underwear and I felt comfortable while wearing them. The design is conforming to the body and creates a nice profile from the front and the rear. I enjoyed this boxer brief and look forward to wearing it again.

We bring you another picture from the new Marcuse Ultra line. This again features the Pletts twins! We hope you enjoy the pic and will post more on the Underwear News Briefs Facebook page and Underwear News Briefs Tumblr this week.
Baskit is one of those brands that have been with UNB since the very beginning. We have worked closely with them and they have been one of our biggest supports. Over the years we have reviewed them but I was never able to get a pair. Why? Because they never made underwear in my size. At the time I was at least a 40 waist and got up to 42 before I decided to make a change. Now I’m a 36 and working my way smaller. But being 6’4” I doubt I will go much below a 34. So, when I now get a chance to review them I was super excited. I have read the reviews the guys here did and for the most part they are all positive.
The pair I’m reviewing is the Baskit Simple brief. As the name suggest its “simple” but not plain. I have a philosophy that sometimes you need a simple pair of underwear. Maybe you want something that you can wear under a suit or jeans that isn’t too crazy. This line will be perfect. You can get a white pair but they also have colors so you can show your personality. Places this maybe an advantage is going to the Doctor, the gym or somewhere your underwear is going to show. I know we have readers who will wear anything in these situations but not all are that free spirited.
The Simple brief is available in five colors and made out of 96% Cotton 4% Elastane blend. It is not a pair that fit me super tight but gave me great support. It also has a pouch but it’s not too defined. This to me wasn’t a bad thing but I typically go for underwear with a defined pouch. I didn’t hold it against the pair. It fit pretty well and held up. It didn’t loose the shape or cause any issues through out the day.
I wore this pair on a weekend, so you don’t get the typical office review. I had a day shopping and hanging out with friends. My biggest worry was if it was going to hold it’s shape. Knowing Baskit the way I do, I didn’t think it would loose it’s shape, but you never know. Especially with a pair that is higher in cotton. As the day went on the Waistband fit me very well with no binding or rolling. The brief itself also held its shape. Nothing big happened and made it do things it was not designed to do.
One things I loved was the styling. Its very classic take on a brief design. It doesn’t have to be boring. Second thing I liked was the waistband. The signature /baskit/ waistband in grey really set the pair off. Next, I loved it’s in more colors. And not your typical colors, black white and such. Things I didn’t like. There is not too much that is negative about the pair. I would love loved a little more eslatin in the material. To give I big more give.
Pros:
- Great waistband
- Classic Styling
- Available in multiple colors
Cons:
- Have a material with a little more give

Baskit furnished this pair for review.
We did a shoot with Derek Yates yesterday. He’s an amazing model out of Tennessee. He drove down to Atlanta early on a Saturday and we shot some Go Softwear and Baskit. This was taken from my phone but the pics are going to be amazing. They will be out this week!
Unico is one of my favorite brands of all times. So when I go into a new review I always hold Unico up to high standards. In fact, Unico was one of my first pairs I ever paid over $25 for. So my history with the brand runs a long time. Over the years I have enjoyed everything from thongs to boxer briefs. Which for me is rare to like an entire range. So, when I got the SER boxer brief I was excited and a little worried. I haven’t had much luck with longer boxer briefs, but it’s made out of a nylon/spandex material that I love.
I put them on and instantly they felt like a second skin. Meaning I put them on and they just felt amazing on me. You maybe saying, “Tim but you are not a fan of the boxer brief” and you would be correct. Most lose their shape or don’t offer me any support in the pouch. These are just the opposite. They kept their shape and gave amazing support with the famous Unico pouch. The material was super soft too. I have tried a few other pairs of Unico but not sure what made this material so much better.
The day I wore these was the typical at work. A lot of sitting and getting up you do at an office job. As the day went on I forgot I was wearing boxer briefs. The support feels more like a brief, which is a big bonus to me. The only time I noticed them was when they showed below my shorts (yes I’m lucky I get to wear shorts to work), but I don’t think anyone noticed or cared. The fabric 93% nylon/7% spandex would breathe and not trap moisture.
The sizing on these tends to run smaller. They are based in Columbia and as most Colombian brands run a size smaller. For my 36 waist they fit me fine. However, if you are buying them I would suggest going up a size no matter what size you are. So if you are a 32, get a Large or you maybe sorry. Getting a size smaller, you will regret it and they are not forgiving.
What did I like about the pair? Well first is the fabric. It was super soft and fit me like a glove. The longer legs stayed in place and I forgot I was wearing a boxer brief. I loved the blue color as well. The one thing that annoys me most is when there aren’t colors in underwear and it’s just black or white. The last thing I liked is the amazing Unico pouch. It’s really is made to fit a guy. As for what I didn’t like? I can’t think of anything other then make in more colors.
Pros:
- Super soft nylon fabric
- Fit me like a brief
- Great blue color
- Pouch give amazing support
Cons:
- Make in more colors

Marcuse is going to release a new basic underwear line called ULTRA. As you can see by the pics, just because something says it’s basic doesn’t mean it’s boring.The new line will be available in black, white and grey. I can hear a few of you groan. I am admittedly not fan of most companies that use those three colors . However that said, I think the design is something that will win you over. When I first looked the pics over, I didn’t focus on color but the designs. It wasn’t till I read the email that I realized those were the only color choices.
Marcuse didn’t make them solid grey, black or white. They created a cool waistband that accents the color. One thing I really like is the Marcuse “R” is the same red that is used in the accent stitching. Also, they created a great pouch in the pair. You can tell they put a lot of work in this new line.
So these are anything but boring. Marcuse has designed a classic and fun line. Its great to see a company take on a basic line and put their own spin on it. You will be able to find these at the Marcuse site this next week!
